Sebo Automatic X1 vacuum 'check brush' light on

\015 Light comes on only while vacuuming hardwood floor. On carpeting, it is fine. I took this to my local repair shop and they serviced it and said it was fine - but clearly it is not. \015\012Suction seems okay - but not as good as when it was new. Vacuum is only approx. 4 1/2 years old. Has been great for picking up dog fur and dirt that gets tracked in from outside. (farm)\015\012\015\012I have replaced bags, filters, etc. Light comes on more when turning than when vacuuming in a straight line, but always comes on within just a minute or two of starting.\015

I work in a Sebo agency, where we sell and repair Sebos - although they're so reliable we don't get that many to repair. What's "automatic" about this machine is that it automatically adjusts the brush height so that it's ideal for whatever floor it's on. It does that by sensing the amount of drag on the brush. On a wood floor, there's much less drag than on a carpet, so the machine lowers the brush as far as possible to get the optimum drag. After a while (4 1/2 years in your case) the brush has worn so far that the machine can no longer get it down low enough to brush the floor effectively. That's why the light comes on. There's still plenty of bristle to do a good job on carpet but, if you want to do the best job on your wood floors too, you need a new brush roller. Change the brush roller, and you'll probably feel the suction's improved too!\015\012\015\012Any questions, just post a comment and I'll help if I can. I value your feedback so please remember to rate this response.\015\012\015\012Good luck!

Sebo Automatic X1 Bagged Upright Vacuum

When I flip the switch on my sebo x1 upright, a red light comes to the brush and bag icons. However, I cleaned out the hose and checked to make sure there is no obstruction from the brush to the hose also, or from the hose to the bag. It is clear that juice is coming to the vacuum, but there is no sign of life except the two red lights.

Thanks for contacting fixya. You should pull out the bag and reset the machine. You should take all the user replaceable items. And turn it on. You will get lot of errors. Then turn the machine off. Put back all the accessor ...

My vacuum cleaner works, all but the "foot". It turns off automatically and the light comes on telling me to "check brushroll". I've done this and removed all hair, strings, etc. It still turns off automatically, while the main vacuum and hose remain on. What else can I do?

Please post back with a brand and advise more info, however , I assume this is a canister vac with hose and `power head``. Often a power head brush roll will build up hair and thread which travels and winds up at the end of the brush wher ...

I have a Kenmore Elegance Vacuum with Dirt Sensor, Model # 116.30750400C, Serial number M41901532. When vacuuming the carpet the power head will work for 3-6 mins then automatically shut off, power is still there and lights work but the power head motor turns off and the suction stops. I will turn it off and on, check the outlet, flick the on off buttons...nothing. I will turn it off for a couple minutes and it turns back on and runs like normal. I've check the bags, filters, cleaned the hos

My vacuum isn't working. The red light indicator comes on seconds after I start it, yet there is no blockage and the brush area is free of debris. I checked all the filters and no sign of blockage there either. The brushes don't turn and there is no suction. How can I fix it?

My purple Dyson Animal (without the ball) isn't working correctly. When I turn it on, the red power light, as well as the medium pile buttons flashes. When I first turn it on, the brush rotates for 3 to 5 seconds, then once I start moving the vacuum, it stops and that's when the lights start flashing. I've checked the filters, they are dry and installed correctly. What could be the problem?

I need help repairing my Dyson. I cannot push the buttons down to select Short pile/Medium pile or bare floor. The buttons will not push down at all. It will not allow me to select anything. I have very short pile carpet so it does not pick up that w ...

Sebo X4 when switched on bag full and check brush lights momentarily light up then go off and motor doesnt work

Our unit is 7024A Electrolux Oxygen 3 - it seems to work great but suddenly, the head or 'power brush' or whatever it is called - has died. I checked by removing the hose and plugging it directly into the body, but it is still dead. Without that motorized head working, the vacuum is useless. Is it worth replacing? The unit is only about 1 year old and has seen light use only. Very frustrating, since it was the most expensive unit in the store:(

When the vacuum is running i get a check brush indicator lite, but once I put the hande in upright postion the light goes out

Let's try this again. The main vacuum and hose works fine, the "foot" does not. When I turn it on, it shuts off automatically and the light comes on telling me to "check brushroll". I did this and removed all hair, strings, etc., Still won't work. Please respond. The last post took over 30 minutes with no response.

Sounds like you have hair or carpet buildup in the roller and it is not freely rotating and you are getting an error. If there is no buildup, then roller bearings may be frozen up, or the unit has a faulty capacitor and is not going to work due to el ...

Sebo Automatic X1 vacuum cleaner doesn't produce much suction.

If the motor really is working, the problem is most likely to be that there's a blockage somewhere, and on this excellent vacuum cleaner there aren't too many places to look. You've probably already looked in the inspection flap on the underside. If ...

Won't start. My son was using the vacuum & Didn't change the bag. The vacuum was making the full bag smell, but the light was't on & it didn't stop. I stopped him, changed the bag, checked the filter, closed the compartments & turned on the vacuum. Nothing happened. I checked to be sure that it was plugged in, that wasn't the problem. I've let the vacuum "rest" for several days, It still won't start. Any suggestions?

How to disassemble the brush to empty anything that might be stuck inside of the brush?
The motor seems to be overheating, all belts have been checked, all airways are clear and the filter is clean. The vacuum is vibrating and releasing a burning smell, but still sucking up dirt. There is nothing stuck on the outside of the brush, but is there a way to check inside of it to see if that is where a clog is occuring?

If there's a burning smell and the belts are fine, the problem is going to be hot wires causing the insulation to melt, or the motor going bad. Discontinue use and have it checked at a repair shop. ...
